Stirring video of Dayton police shooting and killing the perpetrator of Dayton’s Sunday morning massacre just feet away from a packed bar has been released.
The surveillance footage shows dozen of patrons rushing toward the bar as Connor Betts, the 24-year-old shooter, approaches the door before being shot at and downed by at least a half a dozen responding police officers.
Betts killed nine people including his sister in the shooting and injured at least two dozen more, but the quick response from officers was able to end the shooting in 30 seconds.
“We will never know how many lives were saved,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said during a Sunday press conference. “The police department and the mayor gave me, my wife and I, the tour. The assailant was obviously very, very close to being able to kill dozens and dozens more people.”

The Dayton massacre was the second mass shooting over the weekend with another 21 people killed in El Paso, Texas and over two dozen injured.
Trump offered his condolences Sunday to both the people of El Paso and Dayton and later addressed the tragedies at the White House on Monday.
